BACKGROUND

The semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) industry has experienced rapid growth. Technological advances in IC materials and design have produced generations of ICs where each generation has smaller and more complex circuits than the previous generation. However, these advances have increased the complexity of processing and manufacturing ICs and, for these advances to be realized, similar developments in IC processing and manufacturing are needed. In the course of IC evolution, functional density (i.e., the number of interconnected devices per chip area) has generally increased while geometric size (i.e., the smallest component that can be created using a fabrication process) has decreased.

As the semiconductor industry has progressed into nanometer technology process nodes in pursuit of higher device density, higher performance, and lower costs, challenges from both fabrication and design issues have resulted in the development of three-dimensional designs, such as the fin field effect transistor (FinFET). FinFETs are fabricated with a thin vertical “fin” (or fin structure) extending from a substrate. The channel of the FinFET is formed in this vertical fin. A gate is provided over the fin. Advantages of the FinFET may include reducing the short channel effect and higher current flow.

Although existing FinFETs and methods of fabricating FinFETs have been generally adequate for their intended purposes, they have not been entirely satisfactory in all respects. For example, as the size of the fin (e.g., the fin width) and the fin-to-fin space (i.e., the distance between two adjacent fins) are reduced, the resistance of the well pick-up region is increased due to the interdiffusion between the well pick-up regions with different conductivity types, and thus the electrical performance of the semiconductor device is reduced. Therefore, it is a challenge to form reliable semiconductor devices at smaller and smaller sizes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the provided subject matter. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, the formation of a first feature over or on a second feature in the description that follows includes embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which additional features may be formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact. The present disclosure may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in some various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between some various embodiments and/or configurations discussed.

Furthermore, spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. The apparatus may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein may likewise be interpreted accordingly.

Some embodiments of the disclosure are described. Additional operations can be provided before, during, and/or after the stages described in these embodiments. Some of the stages that are described can be replaced or eliminated for different embodiments. Additional features can be added to the semiconductor device structure. Some of the features described below can be replaced or eliminated for different embodiments. Although some embodiments are discussed with operations performed in a particular order, these operations may be performed in another logical order.

The fins may be patterned using any suitable method. For example, the fins may be patterned using one or more photolithography processes, including double-patterning or multi-patterning processes. Generally, double-patterning or multi-patterning processes combine photolithography and self-aligned processes, allowing patterns to be created that have, for example, pitches smaller than what is otherwise obtainable using a single, direct photolithography process. For example, in one embodiment, a sacrificial layer is formed over a substrate and patterned using a photolithography process. Spacers are formed alongside the patterned sacrificial layer using a self-alignment process. The sacrificial layer is then removed, and the remaining spacers may then be used to pattern the fins.

Embodiments of a semiconductor device structure and a method for forming a semiconductor device structure are provided. FIG. 1 is schematic top view showing a semiconductor device 200 with fin structures in accordance with some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, the semiconductor device 200 includes a semiconductor substrate 100 having a well pick-up region 10, an active region 30, and a dummy region 20. In some embodiments, the dummy region 20 is between the well pick-up region 10 and the active region 30. In some embodiments, the well pick-up region 10 includes a first well region 40 having a first conductivity type, a second well region 50 having an opposite second conductivity type adjacent to the first well region 40, and a third well region 60 having the first conductivity type adjacent to the second well region 50. That is, the first well region 40 and the third well region are doped with a first type of dopants. The second well region 50 is doped with an opposite second type of dopants. Moreover, the dummy region 20 and the active region 30 also include the first well region 40, the second well region 50 adjacent to the first well region 40, and the third well region 60 adjacent to the second well region 50, respectively. As a result, the second well region 50 is between the first well region 40 and third well region 60, so that a first well boundary B1 is defined between the first well region 40 and the second well region 50 and a second boundary B2 is defined between the second well region 50 and the third well region 60. In some embodiments, the first and third well regions 40 and 60 (e.g., PMOS regions) are used for P-type FinFETs formed thereon and the second well region 50 (e.g., an NMOS region) is used for N-type FinFETs formed thereon. Alternatively, the first and third well regions 40 and 60 (e.g., NMOS regions) are used for N-type FinFETs formed thereon and the second well region 50 (e.g., a PMOS region) is used for P-type FinFETs formed thereon.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes a semiconductor material (e.g., silicon). In some other embodiments, the semiconductor substrate 100 may include another elementary semiconductor, such as germanium; a compound semiconductor including silicon carbide, gallium arsenic, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide, and/or indium antimonide; an alloy semiconductor including SiGe, GaAsP, AlInAs, AlGaAs, GaInAs, GaInP, and/or GaInAsP, or a combination thereof. Alternatively, the semiconductor substrate 100 is a semiconductor on insulator (SOI).

In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 200 further includes a first fin structure 100 a protruding from the semiconductor substrate 100 in the first well region 40 of the well pick-up region 10. Moreover, one or more second fin structures 100 b protrude from the semiconductor substrate 100 in the first well region 40 of the active region 30 and extend into the first well region 40 of the dummy region 20.

In some embodiments, the first fin structure 100 a is spaced apart from the first well boundary B1 by a first distance D1. Moreover, one of the second fin structures 100 b that is closest to the first well boundary B1 is also spaced apart from the first well boundary B1 by a second distance D2. The first distance D1 may be a minimum distance between the first well boundary B1 and the first fin structure 100 a. For example, the first distance D1 is a distance between a sidewall of the first fin structure 100 a and the first well boundary B1. Similarly, the second distance D2 may be a minimum distance between the first well boundary B1 and the second fin structure 100 b that is closest to the first well boundary B1. For example, the second distance D2 is a distance between a sidewall of the second fin structure 100 b and the first well boundary B1. In some embodiments, the ratio of the first distance D1 to the second distance D2 is in a range from about 2 to about 3.5. In some embodiments, the first distance D1 is in a range from about 50 nm to about 70 nm. The second distance D2 is in a range from about 20 nm to about 25 nm. In some embodiments, the first distance D1 is greater than the second distance D2. The sufficient difference between the first distance D1 and the second distance D2 is designed to prevent an interdiffusion region (or referred to as a depletion region that is caused by doping the first well region 40 and the second well region 50 with different types of dopants) (not shown) in the first well region 40 from extending into the first fin structure 100 a. As a result, the resistance of the first fin structure 100 a can be prevented from being increased. Moreover, the sufficient utilized area of the semiconductor substrate 100 for forming the first fin structure 100 a can be obtained, thereby preventing the resistance of the first fin structure 100 a from being increased. In some embodiments, the first distance D1 is not less than the maximum length of the interdiffusion region in the first well region 40.

In some embodiments, the first fin structure 100 a has a first fin width W1 and each of the second fin structures 100 b has a second fin width W2. In some embodiments, the ratio of the first fin width W1 to the second fin width W2 is in a range from about 2.5 to about 20. In some embodiments, the first fin width W1 is in a range from about 25 nm to about 100 nm. The second fin width W2 is in a range from about 5 nm to about 10 nm.

In some embodiments, the second fin width W2 is less than the first fin width W1. Since the interdiffusion region in the first well region 40 may extend into the first fin structure 100 a, the sufficient difference between the first fin width W1 and the second fin width W2 is designed to prevent the dopant depletion or dopant lost (which is caused by the interdiffusion region) in the first fin structure 100 a from being greatly increased. As a result, the resistance of the first fin structure 100 a can be prevented from being increased.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 200 further includes a third fin structure 100 c protruding from the semiconductor substrate 100 in the second well region 50 of the well pick-up region 10. Moreover, one or more fourth fin structures 100 d protrude from the semiconductor substrate 100 in the second well region 50 of the active region 30 and extend into the second well region 50 of the dummy region 20.

In some embodiments, the third fin structure 100 c is spaced apart from the first well boundary B1 by a third distance D3. Moreover, one of the fourth fin structures 100 d that is closest to the first well boundary B1 is also spaced apart from the first well boundary B1 by a fourth distance D4. The third distance D3 may be a minimum distance between the first well boundary B1 and the third fin structure 100 c. For example, the third distance D3 is a distance between a sidewall of the third fin structure 100 c and the first well boundary B1. Similarly, the fourth distance D4 may be a minimum distance between the first well boundary B1 and the fourth fin structure 100 d that is closest to the first well boundary B1. For example, the fourth distance D4 is a distance between a sidewall of the fourth fin structures 100 d and the first well boundary B1. In some embodiments, the ratio of the third distance D3 to the fourth distance D4 is in a range from about 1 to about 2. In some embodiments, the third distance D3 is in a range from about 30 nm to about 40 nm. The fourth distance D4 is in a range from about 20 nm to about 30 nm. In some embodiments, the third distance D3 is greater than the fourth distance D4. Similarly, the sufficient difference between the third distance D3 and the fourth distance D4 is designed to prevent an interdiffusion region (which is caused by doping the first well region 40 and the second well region 50 with different types of dopants) (not shown) in the second well region 50 from extending into the third fin structure 100 c. As a result, the resistance of the third fin structure 100 c can be prevented from being increased. Moreover, the sufficient utilized area of the semiconductor substrate 100 for forming the third fin structure 100 c can be obtained, thereby preventing the resistance of the third fin structure 100 c from being increased. In some embodiments, the third distance D3 is not less than the maximum length of the interdiffusion region in the second well region 50. In some embodiments, the first distance D1 is different from or substantially equal to the third distance D3. For example, the first distance D1 is greater than the third distance D3, as shown in FIG. 1.

In some embodiments, the third fin structure 100 c has a third fin width W3 and each of the fourth fin structures 100 d has a fourth fin width W4. In some embodiments, the ratio of the third fin width W3 to the fourth fin width W4 is in a range from about 1.5 to about 10. In some embodiments, the third fin width W3 is in a range from about 12 nm to about 50 nm. The fourth fin width W4 is in a range from about 5 nm to about 8 nm. In some embodiments, the fourth fin width W4 is less than the third fin width W3. Similarly, since the interdiffusion region in the second well region 50 may extend into the third fin structure 100 c, the sufficient difference between the third fin width W3 and the fourth fin width W4 is designed to prevent the dopant depletion or dopant lost (which is caused by the interdiffusion region) in the third fin structure 100 c from being greatly increased. As a result, the resistance of the third fin structure 100 c can be prevented from being increased. In some embodiments, the first fin width W1 is different from or substantially equal to the third fin width W3.

In some embodiments, the first fin structure 100 a has a first fin length L1 and the third fin structure 100 c has a second fin length L2 that is substantially equal to the first fin length L1. As a result, two ends of the first fin structure 100 a are respectively aligned to two corresponding ends of the third fin structure 100 c, as shown in FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the first fin length L1 is in a range from about 50 nm to about 150 nm and the second fin length L2 is in a range from about 50 nm to about 150 nm.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 200 further includes a fifth fin structure 100 e protruding from the semiconductor substrate 100 in the third well region 60 of the well pick-up region 10. Moreover, one or more sixth fin structures 100 f protrude from the semiconductor substrate 100 in the third well region 60 of the active region 30 and extend into the third well region 60 of the dummy region 20.

In some embodiments, the fifth fin structure 100 e is spaced apart from the second well boundary B2. Moreover, one of the sixth fin structures 100 f that is closest to the second well boundary B2 is also spaced apart from the second well boundary B2. The minimum distance (which is referred to as a fifth distance) between the second well boundary B2 and the fifth fin structure 100 e may be greater than the minimum distance (which is referred to as a sixth distance) between the second well boundary B2 and one of the sixth fin structures 100 f that is closest to the second well boundary B2. The fifth distance may be a distance between a sidewall of the fifth fin structure 100 e and the second well boundary B2. The sixth distance may be a distance between the second well boundary B2 and a sidewall of the sixth fin structure 100 f that is closest to the second well boundary B2. In some embodiments, the ratio of the fifth distance to the sixth distance is the same as or similar to the ratio of the first distance D1 to the second distance D2. Moreover, the fifth distance is the same as or similar to the first distance D1. The sixth distance is the same as or similar to the second distance D2. Similarly, the sufficient difference between the fifth distance and the sixth distance is designed to prevent an interdiffusion region (which is caused by doping the second well region 50 and the third well region 60 with different types of dopants) (not shown) in the third well region 60 from extending into the fifth fin structure 100 e. As a result, the resistance of the fifth fin structure 100 e can be prevented from being increased. Moreover, the sufficient utilized area of the semiconductor substrate 100 for forming the fifth fin structure 100 e can be obtained, thereby preventing the resistance of the fifth fin structure 100 e from being increased. In some embodiments, the fifth distance is not less than the maximum length of an interdiffusion region (not shown) in the third well region 60 caused by doping the second well region 50 and the third well region 60 with different types of dopants.

In some embodiments, the third fin structure 100 c is spaced apart from the second well boundary B2 by a distance that is the same or different from the third distance D3. Moreover, one of the fourth fin structures 100 d that is closest to the second well boundary B2 is also spaced apart from the second well boundary B2 by a distance that is the same or different from the fourth distance D4. In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the third fin structure 100 c is not less than the maximum length of an interdiffusion region (not shown) in the second well region 50 caused by doping the second well region 50 and the third well region 60 with different types of dopants.

Moreover, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the fifth fin structure 100 e is different from or substantially equal to the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the third fin structure 100 c. For example, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the fifth fin structure 100 e is greater than the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the third fin structure 100 c, as shown in FIG. 1.

In some embodiments, the fifth fin structure 100 e may have a fin width that is different from a fin width of each of the sixth fin structures 100 f. For an example, the fin width of the fifth fin structure 100 e is the same as or similar to the first fin width W1 and the fin width of the sixth fin structure 100 f is the same as or similar to the second fin width W2 or the fourth fin width W4. In this case, the fin width of the sixth fin structure 100 f is less than the fin width of the fifth fin structure 100 e. In some embodiments, the fin width of the fifth fin structure 100 e is different from or substantially equal to the third fin width W3 of the third fin structure 100 c. Similarly, since the interdiffusion region in the third well region 60 may extend into the fifth fin structure 100 e, the sufficient difference between the fifth fin structure 100 e and sixth fin structure 100 f is designed to prevent the dopant depletion or dopant lost (which is caused by the interdiffusion region) in the fifth fin structure 100 e from being greatly increased. As a result, the resistance of the fifth fin structure 100 e can be prevented from being increased.

In some embodiments, the fifth fin structure 100 e has a fin length substantially equal to the first fin length L1 of the first fin structure 100 a and the second fin length L2 of the third fin structure 100 c. As a result, two ends of the fifth fin structure 100 e are respectively aligned to two corresponding ends of the first fin structure 100 a and two corresponding ends of the third fin structure 100 c.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 200 further includes isolation structures may be positioned on opposite sides of the fin structures (e.g., the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and six fin structures 100 a, 100 b, 100 c, 100 d, 100 e, and 100 f). In some embodiments, each of the isolation structures includes an isolation feature 120 and a liner structure (not shown) covering the sidewall and the bottom of the isolation feature 120. As a result, the semiconductor substrate 100 and the lower portion of the fin structures (e.g., the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and six fin structures 100 a, 100 b, 100 c, 100 d, 100 e, and 100 f) are spaced apart from the isolation features 120 by the liner structures.

In some embodiments, the isolation feature 120 is made of a dielectric material, such as silicon oxide, fluoride-doped silicate glass (FSG), a low-k dielectric material, and/or another suitable insulating material. The isolation features 120 may be shallow trench isolation (STI) features. In some embodiments, the liner structure may include a single layer or a multiple structure and may be made of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbide (SiC), or a combination thereof.

In some embodiments, a distance between the sidewall of the first fin structure 100 a and the sidewall of the third fin structure 100 c is greater than a distance between the sidewall of the second fin structure 100 b and the sidewall of the fourth fin structure 100 d. In some embodiments, the first fin structure 100 a and the third fin structure 100 c are separated by one of the isolation structures. In those cases, this isolation structure may be in direct contact with both the sidewall of the first fin structure 100 a and the sidewall of the third fin structure 100 c. Similarly, in some embodiments, a distance between the sidewall of the fifth fin structure 100 e and the sidewall of the third fin structure 100 c is greater than a distance between the sidewall of the sixth fin structure 100 f and the sidewall of the fourth fin structure 100 d. In some embodiments, the fifth fin structure 100 f and the third fin structure 100 c are separated by one of the isolation structures. In those cases, this isolation structure may be in direct contact with both the sidewall of the fifth fin structure 100 f and the sidewall of the third fin structure 100 c

In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 200 further includes gate structures 130 are positioned over the semiconductor substrate 100. Some of those gate structures 130 are across the first, third, and the fifth fin structures 100 a, 100 c, and 100 e in the pick-up region 10. Moreover, the other gate structures 130 are across the second, fourth, and sixth fin structures 100 b, 100 d, and 100 f in the dummy region 50 and the second, fourth, and sixth fin structures 100 b, 100 d, and 100 f in the active region 60.

In some embodiments, each of the gate structures 130 may include a gate dielectric layer, a gate electrode layer, and/or one or more additional layers. In some embodiments, the gate structure 130 is a sacrificial gate structure or a dummy gate structure such as formed in a replacement gate process used to form a metal gate structure. In some embodiments, the gate structure 130 includes polysilicon layer (as the gate electrode layer). Moreover, the gate dielectric layer of the gate structure 130 may include silicon dioxide or another suitable dielectric material. Alternatively, the gate dielectric layer of the gate structure 130 may include a high-k dielectric layer such as HfO₂, TiO₂, HfZrO, Ta₂O₃, HfSiO₄, ZrO₂, ZrSiO₂, or a combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the gate structure 130 may be a metal gate structure. The metal gate structure may include an interfacial layer, a gate dielectric layer, work function layer(s), and a fill metal layer. In some embodiments, the interfacial layer may include a dielectric material such as silicon oxide layer (SiO₂) or silicon oxynitride (SiON). Moreover, an exemplary p-type work function metal may include TiN, TaN, Ru, Mo, Al, WN, ZrSi₂, MoSi₂, TaSi₂, NiSi₂, WN, or a combination thereof. An exemplary n-type work function metal may include Ti, Ag, TaAl, TaAlC, TiAlN, TaC, TaCN, TaSiN, Mn, Zr, or a combination thereof.

FIGS. 2A to 2F are schematic top view showing various stages of a method of forming the semiconductor device 200 shown in FIG. 1, in accordance with some embodiments. FIGS. 3A to 3F are cross-sectional views along line A-A′ of FIGS. 2A to 2F to show various stages of a process for forming the semiconductor device 200, in accordance with some embodiments. FIGS. 4A to 4F are cross-sectional views along line B-B′ of FIGS. 2A to 2F to show various stages of a process for forming the semiconductor device 200, in accordance with some embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 2A, 3A, and 4A, a semiconductor substrate 100 is received. In some embodiments, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes a semiconductor material (e.g., silicon). In some other embodiments, the semiconductor substrate 100 may include another elementary semiconductor, such as germanium; a compound semiconductor including silicon carbide, gallium arsenic, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide, and/or indium antimonide; an alloy semiconductor including SiGe, GaAsP, AlInAs, AlGaAs, GaInAs, GaInP, and/or GaInAsP, or a combination thereof. Alternatively, the semiconductor substrate 100 is a semiconductor on insulator (SOI).

In some embodiments, the semiconductor substrate 100 has a well pick-up region 10, an active region 30, and a dummy region 20 between the well pick-up region 10 and the active region 30. In some embodiments, the semiconductor substrate 100 may be doped (e.g. with a P-type dopant and/or an N-type dopant) or undoped. For example, the semiconductor substrate 100 is doped with P-type and N-type dopants by well implantation processes. Each of the well pick-up region 10, the dummy region 20, and the active region 30 includes a first well region 40, a second well region 50, and a third well region 60. Moreover, the first well region 40 and the third well region 60 are doped with a first type of dopants, so that the first well region 40 and the third well region 60 have a first conductivity type. The second well region 50 is doped with an opposite second type of dopants, so that the second well region 50 has an opposite second conductivity type adjacent to the first well region 40 and the third well region 60. Therefore, the second well region 50 is between the first well region 40 and third well region 60. A first well boundary B1 is between the first well region 40 and the second well region 50. Moreover, a second boundary B2 is between the second well region 50 and the third well region 60. For an example, the first and third well regions 40 and 60 (e.g., PMOS regions) are used for P-type FinFETs formed thereon. Moreover, the second region 50 (e.g., an NMOS region) is used for N-type FinFETs formed thereon.

In some embodiments, in a P-well implantation process for the first and third well regions 40 and 60, P-type dopants are implanted at an energy level in a range from about 20K eV to about 40K eV. Moreover, the dopant concentration of the P-type dopants is in a range from about 1×10¹³ atoms/cm³ to about 7×10¹³ atoms/cm³. In some embodiments, N-type dopants are implanted at an energy level in a range from about 80K eV to about 120K eV. Moreover, the dopant concentration of the N-type dopants is in a range from about 1×10¹³ atoms/cm3 to about 6×10¹³ atoms/cm³, in some embodiments.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor substrate 100 has a first region 100 a and a second region 100 b adjacent to the first region 100 a. The first region 100 a may be employed to form P-type devices, such as P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). In those cases, the second region 100 b may be employed to form N-type devices, such as N-type MOSFETs. Therefore, the first region 100 a may be referred to as a PMOS region, and the second region 100 b may be referred to as an NMOS region. In some other embodiments, P-type devices (or N-type devices) are formed in both the first region 100 a and the second region 100 b.

In some embodiments, a first photoresist (not shown) may be formed over the semiconductor substrate 100 to expose regions where the first and third well regions 40 and 60 to be formed. Afterwards, a P-well implantation process may be performed on the exposed regions of the semiconductor substrate 100, so as to form the first and third well regions 40 and 60. Similarly, after removal of the first photoresist, a second photoresist (not shown) is formed over the semiconductor substrate 100 to expose a region where the second well region 50 to be formed. Afterwards, an N-well implantation process is performed on the exposed region of the semiconductor substrate 100 to form the second well region 50. In some embodiments, the first and third well regions 40 and 60 may be doped with boron (B) ions to form the P-wells. Moreover, the second well region 50 is doped with arsenic (As) or phosphorous (P) ions to form the N-well.

Afterwards, a first masking layer 102 and an overlying second masking layer 104 are successively formed over the semiconductor substrate 100 for formation of fin structures in subsequent processes. The first masking layer 102 may be a buffer layer between semiconductor substrate 100 and the second masking layer 104. In some embodiments, the first masking layer 102 is formed of silicon oxide. In some embodiments, the second masking layer 104 is made of SiN or SiON. In some embodiments, the first masking layer 102 and the overlying second masking layer 104 are formed by a respective deposition process. For example, the deposition process for formation of the first masking layer 102 may be a thermal oxidation process. Moreover, the deposition process for formation of the second masking layer 104 may be a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process, a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process, a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD) process, a spin-on process, a sputtering process, or another applicable process.

The second masking layer 104 is patterned by patterning a photoresist layer (not shown) with photolithography and then etching the un-protected second masking layer 104 with an etching process (such as a wet etching process or a dry etching process), as shown in FIGS. 2A, 3A, and 4A. The photolithography process includes photoresist coating (e.g., spin-on coating), soft baking, mask aligning, exposure, post-exposure baking, developing the photoresist, rinsing and drying (e.g., hard baking). In some embodiments, after the etching process is performed, the patterned second masking layer 104 include fin patterns corresponding to the active region 30 and those fin patterns extend from the active region 30 into the dummy region 20.

As shown in FIGS. 2B, 3B, and 4B, a third masking layer 106 is formed to cover the structure shown in FIGS. 2A, 3A, and 4A, in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the third masking layer 106 is made of photoresist or another suitable masking material. For example, the third masking layer 106 is made of photoresist and is patterned by a photolithography process. In some embodiments, after the photolithography process is performed, the patterned third masking layer 106 includes fin patterns corresponding to the pick-up well region 10. In some embodiments, the fin patterns of the third masking layer 106 shown in FIG. 2B have a different width than that of the fin patterns of the second masking layer 104 shown in FIG. 2A. Moreover, the minimum distances between the fin patterns of the third masking layer 106 shown in FIG. 2B are also different from those between the fin patterns of the second masking layer 104 shown in FIG. 2A. For example, the fin patterns of the third masking layer 106 shown in FIG. 2B have a width greater than that of the fin patterns of the second masking layer 104 shown in FIG. 2A. Moreover, the minimum distances between the fin patterns of the third masking layer 106 shown in FIG. 2B are also greater than those between the fin patterns of the second masking layer 104 shown in FIG. 2A.

As shown in FIGS. 2C, 3C, and 4C, after the third masking layer 106 is patterned, an etching process (such as a wet etching process or a dry etching process) is performed to remove the second masking layer 104 not covered by the patterned third masking layer 106. As a result, the fin patterns of the third masking layer 106 are transferred into the second masking layer 104. After the etching process is performed, the patterned second masking layer 104 includes fin patterns corresponding to the well pick-up region 10, the dummy region 20, and the active region 30. Those fin patterns have different widths and different fin-to-fin spaces (i.e., the minimum distance between the fin structures).

After forming the fin patterns in the second masking layer 104 and corresponding to the well pick-up region 10, the dummy region 20, and the active region 30, the third masking layer 106 may be removed by a suitable removal process, such as etching or plasma ashing, in accordance with some embodiments.

Afterwards, an etching process (such as a wet etching process or a dry etching process) is performed to remove the first masking layer 102 not covered by the patterned second masking layer 104. Therefore, the fin patterns of the second masking layer 104 are transferred into the first masking layer 102. After the etching process is performed, the patterned first masking layer 102 includes fin patterns corresponding to the well pick-up region 10, the dummy region 20, and the active region 30. Those fin patterns have different widths and different fin-to-fin spaces (i.e., the minimum distance between the fin structures), as shown in FIGS. 2D, 3D, and 4D.

As shown in FIGS. 2E, 3E, and 4E, an etching process (such as a dry or wet etching process) is performed on the semiconductor substrate 100 exposed from the patterned first masking layer 102 and the overlying and patterned second masking layer 104, in accordance with some embodiments. As a result, a first fin structure 100 a, second fin structures 100 b, a third fin structure 100 c, fourth fin structures 100 d, a fifth fin structure 100 e, and sixth fin structures 100 f, and trenches 110 are formed. During the etching process, the patterned second masking layer 104 may be entirely removed, as shown in FIGS. 2E, 3E, and 4E.

Afterwards, the patterned first masking layer 102 may be removed by a suitable removal process, such as etching or plasma ashing, as shown in FIGS. 2F, 3F, and 4F in accordance with some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 2F, the first fin structure 100 a is formed in the first well region 40 of the well pick-up region 10. The second fin structures 100 b are formed in the first well region 40 of the active region 30 and extend into the first well region 40 of the dummy region 20. The third fin structure 100 c is formed in the second well region 50 of the well pick-up region 10. The fourth fin structures 100 d are formed in the second well region 50 of the active region 30 and extend into the second well region 50 of the dummy region 20. The fifth fin structure 100 e is formed in the third well region 60 of the well pick-up region 10. The sixth fin structures 100 f are formed in the third well region 60 of the active region 30 and extend into the third well region 60 of the dummy region 20.

In some embodiments, a first distance D1 (i.e., the minimum distance between the first well boundary B1 and the first fin structure 100 a) is different from a second distance D2 (i.e., the minimum distance between the first well boundary B1 and one of the second fin structures 100 b that is closest to the first well boundary B1). For example, the first distance D1 is greater than the second distance D2. In some embodiments, the first distance D1 is not less than the maximum length of an interdiffusion region (not shown) in the first well region 40 caused by doping the first well region 40 and the second well region 50 with different types of dopants. In some embodiments, the first fin structure 100 a has a first fin width W1 and each of the second fin structures 100 b has a second fin width W2 that is different from the first fin width W1. For example, the second fin width W2 is less than the first fin width W1.

In some embodiments, a third distance D3 (i.e., the minimum distance between the first well boundary B1 and the third fin structure 100 c) is different from a fourth distance D4 (i.e., the minimum distance between the first well boundary B1 and one of the fourth fin structures 100 d that is closest to the first well boundary B1). For example, the third distance D3 is greater than the fourth distance D4. In some embodiments, the third distance D3 is also not less than the maximum length of an interdiffusion region (not shown) in the second well region 50 caused by doping the first well region 40 and the second well region 50 with different types of dopants. In some embodiments, the first distance D1 is different from or substantially equal to the third distance D3.

In some embodiments, the third fin structure 100 c has a third fin width W3 and each of the fourth fin structures 100 d has a fourth fin width W4 that is different from the third fin width W3. For example, the fourth fin width W4 is less than the third fin width W3. In some embodiments, the first fin width W1 is different from or substantially equal to the third fin width W3. Moreover, the second fin width W2 is different from or substantially equal to the fourth fin width W4.

In some embodiments, the first fin structure 100 a has a first fin length L1 and the third fin structure 100 c has a second fin length L2 that is substantially equal to the first fin length L1. As a result, two ends of the first fin structure 100 a are respectively aligned to two corresponding ends of the third fin structure 100 c.

In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the fifth fin structure 100 e may be different from the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and one of the sixth fin structures 100 f that is closest to the second well boundary B2. For example, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the fifth fin structure 100 e is greater than the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and one of the sixth fin structures 100 f. In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the fifth fin structure 100 e is not less than the maximum length of an interdiffusion region (not shown) in the third well region 60 caused by doping the second well region 50 and the third well region 60 with different types of dopants.

In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the third fin structure 100 c is different from the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and one of the fourth fin structures 100 d that is closest to the second well boundary B2. For example, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the third fin structure 100 c is greater than the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and one of the fourth fin structures 100 d that is closest to the second well boundary B2. In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the third fin structure 100 c is not less than the maximum length of an interdiffusion region (not shown) in the second well region 50 caused by doping the second well region 50 and the third well region 60 with different types of dopants.

Moreover, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the fifth fin structure 100 e is different from or substantially equal to the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the third fin structure 100 c. For example, the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the fifth fin structure 100 e is greater than the minimum distance between the second well boundary B2 and the third fin structure 100 c.

In some embodiments, the fifth fin structure 100 e may have a fin width that is different from a fin width of each of the sixth fin structures 100 f. For example, the fin width of the sixth fin structure 100 f is less than the fin width of the fifth fin structure 100 e. In some embodiments, the fin width of the fifth fin structure 100 e is different from or substantially equal to the third fin width W3 of the third fin structure 100 c.

In some embodiments, the fifth fin structure 100 e has a fin length substantially equal to the second fin length L2 of the third fin structure 100 c. As a result, two ends of the fifth fin structure 100 e are respectively aligned to two corresponding ends of the third fin structure 100 c.

After the first fin structure 100 a, the second fin structures 100 b, the third fin structure 100 c, the fourth fin structures 100 d, the fifth fin structure 100 e, and the sixth fin structures 100 f are formed, a liner structure (not shown) is conformally formed over the sidewall and the bottom of each trench 110 and covers the fin structures 100 a to 100 f. The liner structure may serve as a shallow trench isolation (STI) liner and a protective layer for the fin structures 100 a to 100 f. In some embodiments, the liner structure includes a single layer or a multiple structure. For example, the liner structure includes a single layer and is made of silicon oxide (SiO₂), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride (SiN or Si₃N₄), silicon oxynitride (SiON), or another suitable dielectric material. In some embodiments, the liner structure is formed by a thermal oxidation process or a deposition process including CVD, physical vapor deposition (PVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), or the like. An optional rapid thermal treatment may be performed on the liner structure to improve the film quality.

After the liner structure is formed, an insulating layer (not shown) is formed to cover the fin structures 100 a to 100 f and also fills the trenches 110 that are covered by the liner structure, in accordance with some embodiments. The insulating layer may be formed of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, low-k dielectric materials, or a combination thereof, and may be formed by a flowable CVD (FCVD) process. Other insulating materials and/or other formation processes may be used.

After the insulating layer is formed, an anneal process may be performed to cure the insulating layer, in accordance with some embodiments. The anneal process may include a wet steam anneal, and a subsequent dry anneal process.

Afterwards, the insulating layer and the liner structure over the top surfaces of the fin structures 100 a to 100 f are removed by a planarization process. The planarization process may be a chemical mechanical polish (CMP) process. Afterwards, a portion of the insulating layer and a portion of the liner structure are removed to expose the upper portions of the fin structures 100 a, 100 c and 100 e, as shown in FIG. 3F, in accordance with some embodiments. Also, the upper portions of the fin structures 100 b, 100 d and 100 f, as shown in FIG. 4F. As a result, isolation features 120 are formed. In some embodiments, the insulating layer and the liner structure are removed by an etching process such as a dry etching process or a wet etching process, so as to form isolation structures such as shallow trench isolation (STI) structures, as shown in FIGS. 2F, 3F, and 4F, in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the etching process includes a dry etching process using an etching gas comprising ammonia (e.g. NH₃) and hydrogen fluoride (HF).

Afterwards, gate structures 130 are formed over the fin structures 100 a to 100 f to form the semiconductor device 200, as shown in FIG. 1, in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, some of those gate structures 130 are across the first, third, and the fifth fin structures 100 a, 100 c, and 100 e in the pick-up region 10 and the other gate structures 130 are across the second, fourth, and sixth fin structures 100 b, 100 d, and 100 f in the dummy region 50 and the second, fourth, and sixth fin structures 100 b, 100 d, and 100 f in the active region 60.

In some embodiments, the gate structure 130 is a dummy gate structure. In those cases, the gate structure 130 includes polysilicon layer (as the dummy gate electrode layer). Moreover, the dummy gate dielectric layer of the gate structure 130 may include silicon dioxide or another suitable dielectric material. Alternatively, the dummy gate dielectric layer of the gate structure 130 may include a high-k dielectric layer such as HfO₂, TiO₂, HfZrO, Ta₂O₃, HfSiO₄, ZrO₂, ZrSiO₂, or a combination thereof. The dummy gate dielectric layer may be formed by a deposition process, such as CVD, PVD, ALD, high density plasma CVD (HDPCVD), metal organic CVD (MOCVD), or plasma enhanced CVD (PECVD). Moreover, the dummy gate electrode layer is formed by a deposition process, such as CVD, PVD, ALD, HDPCVD, MOCVD, or PECVD.

In some embodiments, the gate structure 130 may be a metal gate structure. The metal gate structure may include an interfacial layer, a gate dielectric layer, work function layer(s), and a fill metal layer.

FIG. 5 is schematic top view showing a semiconductor device 300 with fin structures in accordance with some embodiments. Elements in FIG. 5 that are the same as those in FIG. 1 are labeled with the same reference numbers as in FIG. 1 and are not described again for brevity. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 300 is similar to the semiconductor device 200 shown in FIG. 1. The difference is two ends of the first fin structure 100 a are not aligned to the corresponding ends of the third fin structure 100 c or the corresponding ends of the fifth fin structure 100 e. For an example, two ends of the first fin structure 100 a are not aligned to the corresponding ends of the third fin structure 100 c. Moreover, those ends of the first fin structure 100 a are still aligned to the corresponding ends of the fifth fin structure 100 e. That is, two ends of the third fin structure 100 c are not aligned to the corresponding ends of the fifth fin structure 100 e. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 300 may be fabricated by the same or similar method shown in FIGS. 2A to 2F, 3A to 3F, and 4A to 4F.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 400 is similar to the semiconductor device 200 shown in FIG. 1. The difference is at least the first fin length L1 of the semiconductor device 400 is different from the second fin length L2 of the semiconductor device 400. For example, the first fin length L1 is less than the second fin length L2, as shown in FIG. 6. As a result, at least one end of the first fin structure 100 a is not aligned to the corresponding end of the third fin structure 100 c. Alternatively, the first fin length L1 may be greater than the second fin length L2. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 400 may be fabricated by the same or similar method shown in FIGS. 2A to 2F, 3A to 3F, and 4A to 4F.

FIG. 7 is schematic top view showing a semiconductor device 500 with fin structures in accordance with some embodiments. Elements in FIG. 7 that are the same as those in FIG. 1 are labeled with the same reference numbers as in FIG. 1 and are not described again for brevity. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 500 is similar to the semiconductor device 200 shown in FIG. 1. A difference is one or more fin structures in the active region 30 may not extend into the dummy region. For an example, the fourth fin structures 100 d formed in the active region 30 may not extend into the dummy region 20, as shown in FIG. 7. Another difference is one or more fin structures extending from the active region 30 into the dummy region 20 include a discontinuous structure. For example, each of the sixth fin structures 100 f includes a discontinuous structure, as shown in FIG. 7. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device 500 may be fabricated by the same or similar method shown in FIGS. 2A to 2F, 3A to 3F, and 4A to 4F.

Embodiments of a semiconductor device structure and a method for forming the same are provided. A first fin structure, a third fin structure, and a fifth fin structure are formed in a well pick-up region of the semiconductor substrate. The first fin structure corresponds to a first well region. The third fin structure corresponds to a second well region and the fifth fin structure corresponds to a third well region. A first well boundary is formed between the first well region and the second well region. A second well boundary is formed between the second well region and the third well region. Second fin structures, fourth fin structures, and sixth fin structures are formed in an active region of the semiconductor substrate. The second fin structures correspond to the first well region. The fourth fin structures correspond to the second well region and the sixth fin structures correspond to the third well region. The first fin structure has a greater width than the width of each second fin structure. Similarly, the third fin structure has a greater width than the width of each fourth fin structure and the fifth fin structure has a greater width than the width of each sixth fin structure. The minimum distance between the first well boundary and the first fin structure is greater than the minimum distance between the first well boundary and one of the second fin structures that is closest to the first well boundary. The minimum distance between the first well boundary and the third fin structure is greater than the minimum distance between the first well boundary and one of the fourth fin structures that is closest to the first well boundary. Similarly, the minimum distance between the second well boundary and the third fin structure is greater than the minimum distance between the second well boundary and one of the fourth fin structures that is closest to the second well boundary. Similarly, the minimum distance between the second well boundary and the fifth fin structure is greater than the minimum distance between the second well boundary and one of the sixth fin structures that is closest to the second well boundary. In the well pick-up region, those minimum distances between the first fin structure and the first well boundary, between the third fin structure and the first well boundary, between the third fin structure and the second well boundary, and between the fifth fin structure and the second well boundary are not less than the maximum length of interdiffusion/depletion regions caused by the formation of the first, second, and third well regions.

Moreover, the first fin structure has a fin width greater than the width of each of the second fin structures. Similarly, the third fin structure has a fin width greater than the width of each of the fourth fin structures and the fifth fin structure has a fin width greater than the width of each of the sixth fin structures.

In some embodiments, in the well pick-up region of the semiconductor device, the minimum distances between the first fin structure and the first well boundary, between the third fin structure and the first well boundary, between the third fin structure and the second well boundary, and between the fifth fin structure and the second well boundary are designed to not less than the maximum length of interdiffusion/depletion regions caused by the formation of the first, second, and third well regions 40, 50, and 60. Accordingly, the resistance of first, third, and fifth fin structures in the well pick-up region 10 can be reduced while the fin-to-fin space in the active region is reduced, and thus the electrical performance of the semiconductor device is maintained or improved.

In some embodiments, the widths of the first, third, and fifth fin structures in the well pick-up region of the semiconductor device are respectively greater than the widths of the second, fourth, and sixth fin structures in the active region of the semiconductor device. Accordingly, the dopant depletion or dopant lost (which is caused by the well implantation processes) in the first, third, and fifth fin structures in the well pick-up region of the semiconductor device can be mitigated or eliminated. As a result, the resistance of first, third, and fifth fin structures in the well pick-up region can be prevented from increasing further while the size (e.g., the width) of fin structures in the active region is reduced. Additionally, as the widths of the first, third, and fifth fin structures in the well pick-up region of the semiconductor device are increased, the contact area between those fin structures and the corresponding contact structures (e.g., contact vias) can be increased, thereby reducing the contact resistance. As a result, voltage drop on the interface between the fin structures in the well pick-up region and the corresponding contact structures can be mitigated or eliminated.

In some embodiments, a semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a semiconductor substrate having a well pick-up region and an active region adjacent to the well pick-up region. The semiconductor device structure also includes a first fin structure with a first width and a third fin structure with a third width formed adjacent to each other in the well pick-up region and a second fin structure with a second width and a fourth fin structure with a fourth width formed adjacent to each other in the active region.

Each of the well pick-up region and the active region includes a first well region having a first conductivity type. The semiconductor device structure also includes a first fin structure in the first well region of the well pick-up region and second fin structures in the first well region of the active region. The first fin structure has a first width and each second fin structure of the second fin structures has a second width less than the first width.
